ARNOLD ZWINGLI, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

CHIMNEY-TOP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARNOLD ZWINGLI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chimney-Tops, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a chimney top. When applied to a flue this top will secure an efiicient draft in the flue even when located alongside of a high wall or house without its being necessary to extend the fiue to project upward above the adjoining house or wall.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawing in which Figure 1 shows a perspective View of a chimney-top embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is a central section in a longitudinal direction of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 1 the section being taken through opposite outlets.

In this drawing theletter a indicates the top or cap portion. This top can be adapted for application to any suitable number of fiues according to the number of compartments into which the top is divided. Suitable partitions b will form compartments as required. Each compartment is shown provided with outlets c. The space in the top above the outlets forms a warm air chamber and the smoke rising through the flues into the top passes off through the outlets. The outlets extending from the cap or top have their exit portions directed downward to prevent the entry of rain or foreign matter and at the same time maintain efficient draft. The outlets can be formed of one piece of material or their exit portions can be made suitably removable as by a bayonet joint or Specification of Letters Patent.
